Euros

What are your costs and under what business form will you operate?

Don't know - only very early stage of the process. Not got the job yet. Are there any sites to calculate these things and give advice.

Quoted a rate of 450 a day - but can still renegotiate if it becomes obvious that on this rate I'll lose too much

Based on a turnover of 90,000 euros per year (200 days @450e) and costs of e1000 per month and a yearly investment of 5000e you would end up with 46,047e net income.

You’d do better by;
- getting a better rate (obviously, and possible)
- buying a house in Holland so as to use the mortgage interest tax relief

What's that rate for? I'm on 70 per hour now which is quite a bit more.

I was lined up for a perl & SNMP contract in Amsterdam last week, on about that rate. The agent was practically drooling over my CV on the phone. But I turned it down due to uncertainty about tax and accommodation overheads, and the Euro exchange rate, and the friday/monday flight hassle.

All the same, I wonder if I did the right thing.

that's quite similar to Germany, for 2009 I had circa 93k turnover, approx 20k expenses, leaving 53k net after tax

I think it will be (much) better for a UK citizen using the 2 year 30% tax ruling. For more info: http://www.taxpat.com/en/F.A.Q.-s/Qu...s-Tax-Benefit-

Personally, I think this tax ruling is rubbish, because it creates an unbalanced market (as an NL citizen I don't get this perk, nor is it applicable if I move the other way (contract in the UK)) and there is currently no skills shortage, but I think it still applies so it's there to be used I guess..

Bloody hell that's rubbish. Will probably knock it on the head then! Had a stint over here struggling on a tulip rate so I'm not playing that game again.
